As the second-largest town in Allen County, Humboldt is working hard to prove to its big sister that smaller is better.
Admittedly, this is the perspective of an Iolan who is envious of Humboldt’s revitalized downtown.
At any rate, it’s a challenge Iola should gladly take on.
Humboldt’s downtown revival is the envy of Southeast Kansas. And yes, local benefactors Joe and Janie Works of B&W Trailer Hitches deserve great credit for helping finance much of the reconstruction, as does Walter Wulf of Monarch Cement.
